So why can't a VB6 fan, no matter how misguided, have a discussion thread here about a "new VB6" or "VB6 alternatives aside from VB.Net" that the usual suspects don't come in and crap all over?

The evidence is clear: every time anyone has tried to have one the malicious behavior begins and goes unchallenged aside from faint and ineffective protests that are never backed up with action.

The real answer is that the taint here isn't going away. People need to move to another site far less hostile than this one.
